The New York Times works hard to make sure every climate article delivers a full propaganda payload. Sometimes this requires stealth changes to articles already published. Thus is "consensus" enforced.


Proof the New York Times Stealthily Revises its Articles after Publication

Guest essay by Leo Goldstein NY Times regularly revises its articles after publication. The revisions are substantial, undisclosed, and are nothing like real time updates in developing stories. These are regular articles that undergo dramatic changes that appear as if NY Times editors received a commissar’s call stressing the party line and demanding the article…

The Commissar Vanishes: The Falsification of Photographs and Art in Stalin’s Russia is a 1997 book by David King about the censoring of photographs and fraudulent creation of “photographs” in Joseph Stalin’s Soviet Union through silent alteration via airbrushing and other techniques.
NY Times regularly revises its articles after publication. The revisions are substantial, undisclosed, and are nothing like real time updates in developing stories. These are regular articles that undergo dramatic changes that appear as if NY Times editors received a commissar’s call stressing the party line and demanding the article matches it exactly, with the NY Times editors dutifully obliging.
I recently stumbled on one of such revisions. Within hours, the description of Scott Pruitt, the newly appointed EPA head, in the NY Times article went from being an “ally of fossil fuel Industry,” to a “climate change dissenter,” to a “climate change denialist.” Later, I was pointed to a helpful website newsdiffs.org. Newsdiffs archives multiple versions of news articles and shows the differences between them. That article has been revised or rewritten at least six times after its original publication, all without any notice to the readers.
On the topic of climate debate, the most prominent rewrite seen is the replacement of the term “climate skeptic” with “climate denialist. Also witnessed, is the attempt to do some damage control, like replacing “Obama’s new climate change regulations” that reporters probably heard firsthand from government officials, with “Obama’s new clean air regulations.”. . .
 
It is even easier to manipulate opinion by being selective about what you cover. This isn't something that is limited to environmental advocacy, either.

Good afternoon, Jack. :2wave:

Unbelievable! We don't have to read Orwell's 1984! We're living it! :eek:

heh heh ... you're evil, is what you are.
Changing climate articles to change the message? Can never happen.
Just don't tell me the IPCC would ever do anything like that.
Somebody's head would explode.
